BEAMFORMING FOR MULTI-APERTURE ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM MULTIPLEXING BASED COMMUNICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17997213 titled 'BEAMFORMING FOR MULTI-APERTURE ORBITAL ANGULAR MOMENTUM MULTIPLEXING BASED COMMUNICATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract of this patent application describes a wireless communication system that uses orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexing. The system includes a receiver that receives multiple reference signals from a transmitter, each corresponding to a different OAM mode of an aperture pair. The receiver then sends a feedback message to the transmitter, providing beamforming information based on the received reference signals. The transmitter uses this information to beamform multiple data streams, which are then received by the receiver.
